Evaluation 7:Looking back to your preliminary task,what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the final product


Looking back I can clearly see a difference in the quality of work between my college magazine and my final music magazine pages. This is due to the growth and understanding I have gained throughout the past months as I've research and discuss the ideals and purposes behind the conventions in a magazine and so because of this I have been influenced by existing magazines. Over the past months I have learnt to understand why conventions are a necessity within magazines as well as most forms of media for example sell lines mastheads and sell date are an important way to attract and give information to the consumer.
Due to this I also learnt about the importance of placement and layout of the page making it easy and comfortable for the viewer to read and locate information on the page.This was an incredibly important part of production for my music magazine as I wanted to attract a younger target audience therefore I used a more refined approach
